Sony’s DR-BT140QP Bluetooth Headset Mightn’t Make You Look Geeky

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Bluetooth headsets are not a good fashion statement, even Borg-like ones. But with these little earpieces from Sony, you might be able to get away with it and not look too geeky. The DR-BT140Qs double as normal earphones with a frequency response of 16Hz to 24kHz…

BluePointer Bluetooth Headset-Laser Pointer Mashup Won’t Make You a Borg

I mean “Locutus of Borg” rather than the “Bjorn” variety of course… but admittedly, having a Bluetooth headset that you can whip off and use to fire red laser beams around is pretty sci-fi. It’s the BluePointer from Brando, and I suppose it’s a multipurpose gadget for professionals with little room in their briefcases: it’s…

Wireless Bluetooth Pen Puts Your Mid-Air Penmanship to the Test

Bluetooth enabled pens are nothing new, but they generally require something like special dotted paper to function properly. SMK Corp claims that their new “Wireless Input Pen” is the first device of its kind to transmit characters written in mid air. Combined with Bluetooth, the pen utilizes a a built-in triaxial acceleration sensor to detect…

Metal Gear Solid 4 Bluetooth Headset Reviewed (Sounds Like Crap)

No wonder Solid Snake is so grouchy in Metal Gear Solid 4. Sure, the MGS4 Bluetooth headset looks like the most badass one ever, but the sound quality is apparently horrible—like you’ve been kidnapped and gagged with Liquid Ocelot’s underwear. How are you supposed to banter with Roy Campbell while ducking exclamation points if he…

Lightning Review: Polaroid PoGo Wireless Mobile Printer

The Gadget: The Polaroid PoGo, an inkless printer that prints 2″ x 3″ sticker pictures from digital cameras via USB and cellphones over Bluetooth. The Price: $150 for the unit, 30-packs of photo paper cost $10. The Verdict: Though, like you, I wasn’t totally sure about the PoGo, after using it, I was surprised at…

PlayStation-Branded PS3 Bluetooth Headset Comes Free With SOCOM

The upcoming SOCOM Confrontation game for the PS3 will come with a free Bluetooth headset, much like the similar deal last year with Warhawk. This headset, however, looks very PlayStation-branded and neutral (unlike the Warhawk one, which just looked ugly), leading us to believe that it could serve as the “official” PlayStation 3 headset if…

Brando BTM-118 Bluetooth Headset Squeezes in FM Radio, Display

I kind of like the BTM-118 from Brando, with its weird fusion of Bluetooth headset and FM radio in one gizmo. Maybe because I use a similar clip-on headset (partly to avoid fashion geekiness.) I guess this might be useful if you’re into radio but your cellphone doesn’t do it: most ones with built-in radio…

Bluetrek’s Metal Bluetooth Headset is World’s Slimmest

Wearing Bluetooth headsets is always a risky fashion statement, but it may be that the slenderness of Bluetrek’s Metal headset reduces the fashion-geek effect. It looks even skinnier than Apple’s offering, being a scant 0.16-inches deep, and weighing a mere 0.01-pounds. Nevertheless, the skinny earbud-like device will give you five hours talk and seven days…

The system, which is the central part of Intel’s Cliffside concept, uses current Wi-Fi hardware to create secondary networks that connect with peripherals built with its new transceiver.

It’s a Glovephone!

Ring ring. “Hello?” “Hi.” “Who is this?” “Glovephone.” The Glovephone is sadly just a concept. Connecting via Bluetooth to your handset, the Glovephone is meant for extreme weather conditions and rescue workers. There’s even an emergency button for if you find yourself injured with limited mobility. We just love the clever placement of the speaker…

I-O Data’s Mini Bluetooth Keyboard is Cute, Looks Familiar

Sure, Bluetooth keyboards that help with text-entry to your cellphone or PDA aren’t new. But this one from I-O Data has three things going for it: it’s petite, it doesn’t fold with over-complicated mechanisms and it’s very cute. Dare I say it’s taken a few style pointers from a bigger, shinier Bluetooth cousin? Yes, I…

Logitech Adds to Pure-Fi Speaker Range With Bluetooth Mobile Version

Logitech’s Pure-Fi Mobile will apparently “transform your low-fidelity mobile-phone audio into high-fidelity, stereophonic sound.” You leave your cellphone in your pocket while streaming music over Bluetooth to the speaker module, using A2DP protocol for higher-fidelity sound. With four speakers it should be able to pump out an appreciable volume, and it also has dual mics…
